Kind of dirty, but a neat board... What kind of keyboard is this? Possibly Alps switches? I'm really digging the Cyrillic caps
Don't be like that. MOST keyboards can be cleaned up like new, I just personally refuse to clean and use any keyboard with human faeces embedded in itmike52787 wrote: ↑judging by the condition of that board though... it probably doesnt matter.
.Damn it! Those the space bar switches..RealityCavesIn wrote: ↑Just a heads up. I have a bunch of these and if I recall correctly they are SKCL Cream, not yellows. The colour on the photos are a bit misleading.
I can take some photos tomorrow in better lighting and upload them here.
Still a nice switch though.
. Too late now I guess. Oh well.

Yes I thought so to. The ambers does not seem to have an topside alps-logo though, which these ones have. Also, the SKCM is a clicky switch is it not? These are non-clicky-linears, It also kinda look like the SKCL ambers, however the do not feel particularity stiff. I guess the real-life description of them could be faded yellow (really, really faded).Blaise170 wrote: ↑The yellow above looks more like Alps SKCM Amber. Regular yellows are more of a faded yellow, at least the ones I've seen in person. The greens in the pictures on the wiki also look a fair bit brighter than the ones I have in person.

It certainly does not have buckling spring switches which people normally associated with "model F".RealityCavesIn wrote: ↑Soooo what you´re saying is that it´s NOT a model f?Slom wrote: ↑That is NOT a model F.RealityCavesIn wrote: ↑A pretty cool industrial model f for you US folks.

Oh damn it has membrane switches? Did not know that...

No need to be sorry, I posted the same keyboard almost at the same time, after all

Same for me, I just learned that there is indeed also a buckling spring variant of the XT industrial:RealityCavesIn wrote: ↑I´m learning something new everyday in this hobby:)Slom wrote: ↑

Do you have any idea if it can be used for a case-swap with a regular XT?
Someone should buy it and restore it like I did with mine!depletedvespene wrote: ↑https://www.ebay.com/itm/152963453021/
Interesting in the sense that I don't remember seeing any auction with such a disgustingly dirty keyboard. I can only help but wonder how dirty it is inside (and, more worryingly, corroded). I am kinda tempted to buy it anyway, just to give it the cleaning it deserves and then post the pictures of the process.
(and it happens to share its birthday with a close relative of mine, as well)

too bad ....
Ah that is to bad as it looks really neat. I am kinda curious about what price it will end up selling for.Slom wrote: ↑Same for me, I just learned that there is indeed also a buckling spring variant of the XT industrial:RealityCavesIn wrote: ↑I´m learning something new everyday in this hobby:)Slom wrote: ↑

This one, though, is the OAK version. The cases are not compatible, I believe. The back plate of the mode F is bend, and the case for this one is straight (look at the piece of plastic between the F-keys and the main key cluster. The curvature is visible there).
If these were Peerless switches, I wouldn't pay $10 for it. However these are Fujitsu leaf spring switches which should prove a nice switch for someone.jgaynor wrote: ↑Medical fullsized with what appear to be Fujitsu Peerless switches.

Are you sure it isn't a Fujitsu slider over dome? They feel awful. Even worse than peerless.Blaise170 wrote: ↑If these were Peerless switches, I wouldn't pay $10 for it.
